Phyllis Shipley: February Featured Artist at Studios of Cocoa Beach

The Studios of Cocoa Beach announces the featured artist for the month of February,
Rockledge painter Phyllis Shipley. Phyllis is an award winning acrylic
and watercolor artist with 30 years fine art experience. A native of
Tennessee, she began her art education at East Tennessee State and then
traveled through the US, Europe and Central America gathering
inspiration and taking workshops with renowned artists. Phyllis owned a
gallery in Tennessee and now has work on display in several states.
She was recently included in Art Basel, an international show in Miami,
and will be showing at a New York gallery this spring.

Phyllis is famous for her brilliant colors; especially in her depiction of flowers which hark back to childhood gardens which “instilled
in me a feeling of peace and comfort and a love of color.” Her music
background inspires her jazz paintings where colors, keyboards and
instruments dance across the canvas.

A print of her painting “Outburst” will be given away on Friday, February 23rd in a drawing during the Studios opening reception for it’s exhibit “A Painter’s Pursuit”

Phyllis Shipley’s work can be seen daily at the Studios of Cocoa Beach, 165 Minuteman Causeway
in downtown Cocoa Beach. The nonprofit gallery features 25 artists and
offers a full schedule of workshops in a variety of techniques for both
adults and children. The
